Florida Limited Liability Company: Forms and Practice Manual
Prominent Florida attorneys have drawn from their extensive experience to bring you strategies and forms for virtually every situation you may encounter in this newly revised two-volume Manual featuring a bonus CD with more than 190 electronic forms.
This extensive, updated manual, with its more than 1,290 pages of valuable content, will help you stay current and efficient by providing appropriate statutes and regulations – complemented by thorough discussions and analyses of any changing federal and Florida state laws.
